  • Its a good car - 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
    By -

    I was looking for a new car for a good while. I was about to get the new Lexus ISF but then I came across the C63. Daammmmmm. First of all it has a very clean look. The exterior has a good blend of sporty and luxurious. The interior is also very nice. A very clean and luxurious look. However Im not too sure about the bucket seats. Though the leather is absolutely gorgeous, I feel the seats could have been more comfortable. There ok though, some people really like them. The best part is the engine. It has superpowers.

  • I Like This Car! - 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

    I really like this car, drives very well and is especially fun to drive. Comfortable, but seats are really firm and I cant tell if they are a bit too firm for long trips. Handles well, makes you want to take curves a little faster than you should :) Rear seat fits grown people pretty well.

  • Worst Mercedes I have owned - 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
    By -

    Terrible gas mileage. Uncomfortable seats - no cushioning. Horrible wind noise when driving above 50 mph. Low-end speakers, muddy sound

  • Great car, great gas mileage - 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
    By -

    I like everything about this car but was really suprised by the excellent gas mileage. After about 10,000 miles my overal mixed mileage is 23.9 MPG, I have gotten up to 29.0 MPG. On a recent 1200 mile road trip I was amazed to see my mileage climb to 31.5 MPG. That was over 890 miles, 13 hours with an average speed of 68 MPH. and all on 93 octane gasoline

  • 4th Benz, 3rd C Class - 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
    By -

    Ill admit I enjoy new cars, this being the 4th benz and 3rd C Class Ive owned. Ive actually been away from MB for 7 years with a BMW 3 series and 5 series recently. Just prior to my 2008 C350 Sport, I leased a terrific Japanese product, an Infiniti M45 Sport. But Lexus, Infiniti and Acura dont compare in styling. This new C class is impressive. Its turning out to be more a pleasure to drive each time I get in. People stare, its beautiful. Off all the cars Ive owned, I think its the most stylish. Performance is predictable, acceleration is perfect and stopping is awesome. This MB has captivated me like my first 1986 300E. I am thrilled to be back as a client.

  • Great Car for the Money - 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
    By -

    I have had 4 Mercedes Benz vehicle in the last 10 years ( C280 Sport, E350 Sport, C230, R500 AMG) This is a great little luxury sport sedan. Very German like, great handling, looks, quiet, bulid quality is superb, Harman Kardon sound system is fantastic. I like my new little toy very much.

  • Great Car - 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
    By -

    I already have 7700 miles on the car in just a little over 2 months. I opted for the Sport, P2 Package, Manual Transmission, Panorama Roof, 18" AMG wheels, multimedia package, Ipod Kit, and TeleAid. I recommend this car to anyone looking for quality, performance, style and a heck of a fun ride.

  • Love my C - 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
    By -

    I am approaching my one year anniversary and love the car. I liked the interior of the luxury model so I bought it and the dealer installed a sports grille (the cost was nominal as the grilles are interchangable). I have had no problems at all. I have 4- matic and the car runs like a tank through the snow. The media center is easy to use and the premium sound is great. The Bluetooth was not compatible with my LG phone so had to buy a Motorola. The seats are comfortable and the MB Tek looks like real leather. A great car for the money.

  • Nice Looking Car - 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
    By -

    First time owner of a Mercedes. Engine and transmission very smooth. Nice handling. Lots of standard features, including safety features. Very fast in breaking. Took car to almost 130 - yeah, crazy me!! Car felt very smooth - cant feel the speed. I cruise on freeway and realize I have to ease on the pedal - Im doing 90. Only 1 complaint - you feel the bumps too hard. Needs improvement on suspension. Yes, it has a sports suspension which has been lowered over the luxury model, but you sure feel those bumps. Ive taken few pounds off pressure of the tires to releave this problem - much beter, however, my "check pressure" keeps coming up.

  • Because its a Mercedes - 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
    By -

    Lets face it, the reason why we consider this car is for the status symbol. For the price, this vehicle delivers quality, styling, and great features all packed into an entry level luxury vehicle. The best features of this car are the multimedia package, build quality, and performance. The Multimedia boasts a 7.1 surround sound system, DVD, navi, voice command, bluetooth connectivity, and a 6 disc cd changer. Its always conversational piece with every passenger. As for build quality, try standing on another cars door panel, and say goodbye to the hinges. This car will hold a 400lb person with no problem. Styling? Ask everyone who stares. The best looking luxury sedan on the market.
